REMEMBER
Th4t your vote may be necessary to Democratic success. That the election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8, and. that you should be at the polls early. That It is your duty as a Democrat to be at the polls find assist in getting out the vote. That< Judge Parker is calm, dignified and learned and that Roosevelt is impetuous, erratic and shallow. That the issue 1b between constitutional government at honpe and abroad and militarism with all its attendant evils. That the Republicans have been driven from every position that they assumed in the opening of the campaign. That Roosevelt has declared that a cowboy is preferable as a companion to a small farmer or a mechanic or a laboring man. That the trusts have forced 7,000 men into idleness in the city of Muncie in an effort to reduce output and maintain high prices. That the administration of Roosevelt in times of peace has cost more than was spent in the same length of time during the war with Spain! That the trusts are contributing to the Republican campaign fund and that they will continue to prey upon the people if Roosevelt is elected. That Charles W.-Fairbanks and Albert J. Beveridge voted' for the ship subsidy bijl which would have taken out of the national treasury. That the Democratic watcher should be a man whose integrity is above question and who is earnest in the discharge of duty and courageous in defense of right. That Governor Durbin has admitted that the payments on the state debt have been made possible through a Democratic tax law and a Democratic sinking fund law. That the Republican*, fey reducing corporate assessments and increasing the assessments on private property, have been pursuing a settled policy to make the tax law odious. That a Republican tax board has reduced the assessments of corporations more than $16,000,000 and increased the assessments on lands and improvements on lands more than $27,000,000. That the Democratic watcher at the polls on the night of the election is entitled to see every ballot and to see that it is recorded by the election clerks for the man for whom it is cast. That the best way to become a “world power” is to set an example of peace and good will toward men and, by thus winning the respect of all nations, make the flag to be loved rather than feared. That despotic government in the Philippines, if encouraged by the American people, will surely lead to despotic government at home, for a people cannot ignore the rights of others and long maintain their own rights against the aggressions of tyranny.
Of course the Republicans would try to ape the Democrats in the features that attended the tour of Indiana by Mr. Bryan, but they are reckoning without their host in one important particular. The outpouring of the people to hear the distinguished citizen of Nebraska was spontaneous; the tribute paid to him was to him and to the eternal principles which he represents. The enthusiasm that will attend Charles W. Fairbanks, if indeed there is enthusiasm at all. will be of the manufactured brand, the trust variety that is made up by hiring railroad trains and taking people without charge to his meetings. Fairbanks never had a genuine crowd in his life. His very presence chills the atmosphere for rods around, and people don’t like to run the risk of neuralgia, rheumatism, bad colds and the like at the beginning of winter. When Senator Beveridge went to Alexandria and addressed the people on the subject of “good” trusts, he ought to nave cast his eye in the direction of he dismantled plant of the Big Four Window Glass Company. The trust bought it and abandoned it, and 200 men were forced into idleness. Or he might have turned his eye toward the plant of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, another “good” trust, that has been idle for nearly a year In order to reduce its product. Possibly some of the 750 men that this trust forced into idleness might testify that it belongs to the Senator’s list of “good,” exceptionally “good” trusts. Governor Durbin s statement, accompanying the admission that the state debt is being paid off with money received from a Democratic tax law, that the Republicans in the legislature voted for the law, indicates that the Republicans are hard-pressed for facts. As a matter of fact, the Republican leaders all opposed the law and the Republicans in the senate and house arrayed themselves against it. A few supported the measure, but the great body of the Republican legislators both spoke against and voted against the bill. It is eminently proper while Mr. Mr. Fairbanks is touring the state as the tail to the Republican presidential kite to recall the fact that he lias been in the United States senate nearly eight years and has proved himself nothing but s follower of the ideas of others. As an originator he is a failure. and be seems to regard the sum of a Senator’s duties to be fully discharged when he supports partisan measures only. Indiana has had little °* ** BmMton *
AT THE CLOSE
Th» Fight Wort H Democrats Will Do Their Whole Duty on Election Day and Get Out a Full Vote. '(■ The Democrats of Indiana have made a winning fight and the state is assured for Judge Parker, the entire state ticket and control of the legislature if the closing days of the campaign find every Democrat doing his whole duty. " No faint-heartedness Should be encouraged now. The party has met and vanquished the Republicans on their own ground, has forced admissions from Governor Durbin that the payments on the state debt have been made through a tax law and a sinking fund law that the Democrats, over Republican opposition in the legislature, passed, and has presented candidates for the suffrages of the people who are in every respect superior to their opponents. No campaign in the state was ever begun or continued under more favorable auspices. All meetings have been well attended, the arguments advanced by speakers have sunk deep into the minds of the people, the issues have been presented calmly, dispassionately and effectively and it remains only to see that every voter Is at the polls on November 8. This is the work that now lies before the party and the organization should be pushed With direct reference to that important duty. Some may be physically unable to get to the polls, some may be indifferent and some may have business of importance that would render the casting of their votes problematical. In the one case means should be provided for overcoming the physical disability, in the second the voter should be importuned to do his duty and in the third the voter should be made to realize that no business can be more important than the redemption of the state and nation from Republican rule. The first and greatest duty of every Democrat to himself and to others is to exercise the elective franchise in the contest with extravagance and imperialism. The Democrats have presented ideal candidates for president and governor and from top to bottom of their tickets th,ere is not one who is unworthy the suffrage of a patriotic citizen. Many Republicans, realizing that their party has wandered away from the early principles of government, that it has subordinated the constitution to greed, and has invoked tyranny abroad while preaching freedom at home, have determined to vote with the Democrats this year, and they should be welcomed cordially wherever they appear. And when the victory, is won, as it will be on Nov. 8, every Democrat can feel that he has contributed to It. Mr. Bryan’s closing speech in Indiana was an appeal to Democrats to do their duty, and every man should treasure his words and apply them directly to himself. At Hammond, where the last speech of the ten days’ tour was delivered, the great Commoner made this appeal: As this is my last meeting in Indiana and the end of my ten-day tour of the state, I desire to make tys farewell appeal to those who voted for me when I was a candidate. Let no friend of mine hesitate about the support of the ticket. Let no friend of mine imagine that he can help me by contributing toward the # election of President Roosevelt. Judge Parker’s election will hasten every reform In which 1 am Interested by removing from the arena of politics the questions which now divert public attention from economic and industrial problems. A victory for Parker will not be a victory for the gold Democrats alone, for they could not win the election without the support of the silver Democrats, so that those who voted for me can claim a share in the victory this year. And the Republicans who voted against me and who are going to vote with us this year, will also be entitled to an honorable part in our victory. If we can only overthrow the doctrine of imperialism there will be glory enough In the victory for us all. And this is just such an appeal as Democrat should make to Democrat In the effort to get out every vote. The party Is enthusiastic, militant and strong in the right. Each individual of which it is composed is an important factor In securing victory. Qet out the vote. The son of the postmaster of New York city is a candidate for the Assembly and is under arrest for colonizing voters. It appears from the confession of a man whom he employed, that some twenty rooms were rented by the candidate and men were domiciled in these just before the day of registration. The cashier in the general postofflce was also charged with conspiracy to import voters. Here is a chance for the authorities of New York to make sonffe shining examples of the equality of justice. We suggest that when Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge speak at Muncie and praise the policies of the Republican party, that they call for testimony from some of the Muncie merchants. They will tell the Senators that the closing of trust factories in that town has eut down the merchants' sales $9,000,000 a year, and yet It la a part of the Republican policy to teeter tracts. Nay, Senator Beveridge has even declared that there are
JUDGE FRANK E. GAVIN.
Judge Frank K. Gavin, nominee for Judge of the supreme court for the Third district, is one of the beat-known lawyers in Indiana, having been a practitioner at the bar and a judge on the Appellate Court bench for many years. He was born in Greensburg, Ind., In 1864. He received his early education
FRANK E. GAVIN.
In the public schools of that cIG and later went to Harvard University, where he was graduated in ’7B. On graduating he returned to Greensburg, where he practiced law with great success until he was elected to the Appellate bench in 1892. Retiring from the bench in 1897, he moved his family to Indianapolis, where he has engaged in the practice of law ever since. He is the senior member of the firm of Gavin, Davis & Gavin. Judge Gavin has always been very active in Masonry and is a grand master Mason. Since .iving in Indianapolis he has been zealous in everything pertaining to the city’s welfare. He is prominent in the woyking of the Indianapolis Commercial | Club, and served the club for two years in the capacity of president.
A GOOD WORK.
Mr. Bryan continued his good work: for Democracy in a two days’ tour of Indiana cities last week, and his appeals to the people were all full of party loyalty and good advice. His work in the state for the ticket has been admirable and he deserves and receives the thanks of every patriot who honors Democratic principles. Mr. Bryan well says that victory at. the polls will not be a Parker victory alone, but a victory for every Democrat and a victory for good government as well. "Parker and Davis supported me in 1896,” said he in his Kendallville speech, “and in 1900, when it required courage for men in the East to support me. They supported me though they differed with me on the money question. Why should I not support them now when they stand for so much that we all desire to see accomlished? Roosevelt stands for nothing that promises any reform of existing evils. Parker’s triumph will not be a triumph for Parker alone. It will be a triumph for me, for he stands Just where I stood in 1900 on this question of imperialism. In his triumph there will be glory for the republic, glory for those who believe in the principles of the fathers, glory enough for all.”
Roosevelt a Peril.
In the course of his address before the Connecticut Democratic convention Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale law school, had the following to say about Roosevelt; "Since he became President he has shown not only by his treatment of Panama and by his action in the pension matter as well as by his dictatorial assumption of authority in every department of the government such a disregard of the limitations of power as to lead many thoughtful men to distrust his wisdom. It is this distrust which perhaps more than any other reason has led the independent press of the country almost without exception to pronounce against him in this campaign and to regard him as ‘a dangerous pilot for a great ship.’ ” Senator Beveridge did not like the idea of being sent on the trail of Mr. Bryan in a special car with Fairbanks, and said flatly that he would not go. But the Republican state central committee so arranged the itinerary that Fairbanks would appear at places where Beveridge had previously arranged to speak, and it was either appear with Fairbanks or disappoint the Republicans who wanted to hear him. Of course he surrendered the point. That Beveridge does not like Fairbanks and that the sentiment is reciprocated with interest is one of the things that has been manifest for some time. ,
THE PARTY WATCHER.
Democrats should exercise the greatest possible care in the selection ,of the watcher of the count on the night of the election. It is his privilege to see every ballot that is taken from the box, hear the announcement to the clerks and see that It is recorded as announced. The man selected for this important duty should be alert, watchful, honest, painstaking, incorruptible; a man who is recognized In the community as wholly above suspicion. Put none but Democrats on guard that night.
